^aData are displayed as fold change (FC), calculated by comparing R. necatrix growth on avocado roots (RGA) with R. necatrix growth on Potato Dextrose Agar medium (RGPDA). The expression data are the mean of three biological replicates. Bold numbers indicate statistically significant results (t-Test, P < 0.05)
